HELPING HAND

“Hey listen, everybody, if you can, get down to Philly Pretzel Factory. If the guy doesn’t get any more business he’s going to have to close his doors. We don’t want that. We love his pretzels. So if you can, help him out.”

BLUFFTON GRIPES

“Do you really believe that U.S. Golf is actually going to close its doors in two days or is will it reopen as U.S. Golf 2? It’s been for sale for four years.”

“When you read some of Bluffton’s weird proposals about affordable housing, don’t you wonder who’s going to live in such a teeny-tiny house? Wouldn’t it make a lot more sense to build four houses on a quarter acre? Don’t you wonder why Habitat for Humanity backed off? Think about it. It’s not making a lot of sense. Don’t put me in that tiny space that’s not as big as my garage.”

“Will the low-income housing be on the golf cart ride for the tourists? Just wondering. I think since Bluffton is going to be noted for low-income housing it should be publicized for the tourists. Come to Bluffton and get a free golf cart ride to see the low-income housing.”

“With gas prices the way they are, don’tyou think it’s a little inconvenient to ask people who work on the weekends to go way out of their way to go to work? Why can’t this construction in Bluffton be done at night?”

THIS AND THAT

“Were the letters compiled into a book called ‘The Federalist Papers,’ which were written by several of the founders, ever ratified by the states as was the Constitution and the proposed amendments?”

“For the people who wrote in today about the telephone number BR549. It’s not a telephone number it’s a country music band. It’s a musical group.”

“The U.S. debt ceiling, now $14.29 trillion, has been adjusted upward frequently — more than 40 times since 1980.”

“This is incredibly ironic. On the day you published a letter from Mr. Arthur Broska denouncing the Obama administration for doing nothing to find oil and energy sources is the very same day that Mr. Obama had a press conference disputing everything in Mr. Brosca’s letter. I wonder if Mr. Broska even paid any attention to what Mr. Obama was saying. It seems to me the Republicans are turning a deaf ear to anything that comes out of the Democratic side these days.”
